Me, a black 2005 Jeep Wrangler, Rocky Mountain Edition... with my vanity plates "GOTLIME"

Nice!

I have a 2005 Storm Grey Pathfinder SE and a 1998 White Honda Civic.  The civic is affectionately known as the "ghetto sled" because it's lowered and is completely modified underneat the hood.  The thing is fast, but is about to get sold so that I can upgrade to something more "adult" like.

Momma has the soccer-mom grocery getter van. I'm currently driving the 1985 FORD F-150 affectionately known as "Mater". I also have, but not currently driving, a 1969 CHEVROLET C/20. It has been in the family for a while, so I want to hang on to it and either return it to semi-stock or dump a blown 454 in it.

I forgot about my 1978 Camaro I have at my uncle's house.  It was given to me by my grandma who was the original owner.  I drove it, then both my brother and sister drove it while in High School.  Since it was mine first, I'm going to make claim to it, though I don't think they'll fight me for it.  I replaced the interior in it and added the rims.  My sister added the bondo to the back quarter panel after having the only wreck in it, and my brother added a paint job and a new engine.  It's a pretty nice car now.

ar3inc-Those Dodge Dakota R/T's will move. Is your Neon single or dual cam?

pburke-My '85 F-150 has at least 250,000 plus on it. Don't know the exact because the odometer is only a five digit. Just put a heater core in it yesterday...that was not very fun. But oh well...cheaper than buying a new one.

I had my RT down to 14.8 in the 1/4.  I know it is not nearly as fast as some of the other stuff on the road, but it was quick enough for me to love it (and it was my daily driver).
I chose the SOHC on my neon, because the easier engine.  yeah every 100,000 I have to replace a head gasket, but it is fun times.   ;)

I drive a GiantTM bike with 18 gear transmission, aerodynamic saddle (meaning, my bum hurts after each ride) and a little computer installed on it (that never tells me what I need to know).

Man, how pathetic...I really need to get my driver's license one of these days.

That's a sweet ride.....having your own biz has it's perks!

I'm not much for ostentatious, "dig me" type of cars....even if I can afford them....but Escalades are quality family vehix.

Now that I have to sink a bunch of capital into starting my new venture, new vehix ain't on the menu....not even a Jeep.  I got a '99 Chrysler 300M and a '99 Dodge Grand Caravan.  Time to update...but I'll have to be patient.

Its nice for road trips. It keeps the four knuckleheads occupied. They watch movies and we can listen to cds or XM.
